A 23-year-old Houston man turned himself in to the FBI Wednesday night after he was identified as a suspect in the June 3 robbery of a Beaumont Wells Fargo bank.

Christopher M. Thomas is currently being held at a Beaumont facility on a federal warrant for the robbery. Thomas made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Giblin on Thursday.

No bond has been set.

According to the Beaumont Police Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office, the suspect approached the teller at the Wells Fargo on Major Drive with a note and displayed a gun tucked into his pants by lifting his shirt.

The teller complied with the suspect's demands and he left on foot with $2,309.

A police K-9 tracked the suspect along the canal south of the bank and located the suspect's long sleeved white shirt and ball cap.

Surveillance photographs were released to the media and through tips, the suspect was identified as Thomas.

Detectives and agents obtained an arrest warrant for him and investigators conducted a manhunt in the Houston area for several days before Thomas turned himself into authorities.
